Intended Use
The modified Sonamet Body Composition Analyzer, also known as the PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System (the PEA POD), is indicated for measuring body mass and estimating the body composition (i.e., the body fat and lean body mass) of infants between 1 and 8 kilograms. It is not intended for use with infants requiring life support.
Device Story
PEA POD Infant Body Composition System measures infant body mass and composition; utilizes densiometric approach. Inputs: infant body mass via integrated weighing apparatus; body volume via air displacement plethysmography. Device transforms inputs into density calculations; applies scientific research-derived algorithms to estimate body fat and lean body mass. Housed in movable cart containing reference chamber, calibration volume, air circulation, temperature control, CPU, and printer. Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare professionals. Output provided via printer/display; assists clinicians in assessing infant nutritional status and body composition. Benefits: non-invasive, accurate body composition assessment for infants.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing demonstrated that the device satisfies functional performance requirements safely and accurately.
Technological Characteristics
Densiometric body composition analyzer; utilizes air displacement plethysmography and integrated weighing scale. Components: reference chamber, calibration volume, air circulation system, Air Temperature Control System, CPU, printer. Form factor: movable cart. Software-based algorithm for density and body composition calculation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for measuring body mass and estimating body fat and lean body mass in infants weighing 1 to 8 kg. Contraindicated for infants requiring life support.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An impedance plethysmograph is a device used to estimate peripheral blood flow by measuring electrical impedance changes in a region of the body such as the arms and legs.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a body composition analyzer which is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

#### IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICATE DEVICES
The modified Sonamet Body Composition System is substantially equivalent to the following devices, which have received FDA clearance:
| Device Name | Manufacturer | K Number |
|--------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|----------|
| Sonamet Body<br>Composition Analyzer | Life Measurement,<br>Inc. | K924972 |
| EM-SCAN HP-2<br>Pediatric Body<br>Composition Analyzer | EM-SCAN, Inc. | K902042 |
The intended use and technological characteristics of the modified Sonamet Body Composition System are the same as the above predicate devices. Modifications for the pediatric use indication do not raise additional questions regarding safety and efficacy,
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The modified Sonamet Body Composition System ("The PEA POD") is designed to measure the mass and estimate the body composition of infants with body weights ranging between 1 and 8 kilograms, who do not require life support. The PEA POD estimates body composition using a densiometric approach (i.e. by determining the density of the entire body). A weighing apparatus is used to-measure the subject's mass. Air displacement plethysmography is used to measure the subject's volume. Using this data, the subject's density is calculated. The - subject's body composition is then estimated using several algorithms derived from scientific research. The device components are housed in a movable cart, which contains the reference chamber, calibration volume, air circulation system, Air Temperature Control System, electronic components, printer and CPU.
#### INTENDED USE
The modified Sonamet Body Composition Analyzer, also known as the PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System (the PEA POD), is indicated for measuring body mass and estimating the body composition (i.e., the body fat and lean body mass) of infants between 1 and 8 kilograms. It is not intended for use with infants requiring life support.
#### CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM STUDIES
The results of verification testing demonstrate that the PEA POD Body Composition Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Test results indicate that the device satisfies functional performance requirements safely and accurately when used as indicated.
